I work out everyday and I have more of a muscle build. My inner thighs have always been hard to tighten so I did my research and decided to get cool sculpting. I had my procedure yesterday, walked in at 2:15 and was leaving by 5:30. The process wasn't painful but the first 10 minutes until the numbness sets in was uncomfortable. My thighs felt a little weird afterwards but today I am extremely... more

At the time of my CoolSculpting procedure, I was a little less than one year away from my wedding. I began a diet and exercise regimen, yet there were some stubborn areas of my abdomen that I could not seem to get rid of with diet and exercise alone.
I had heard about CoolSculpting and when I saw that Dr. Venetos offered it in her office, I asked her about it. I've been a patient of hers for... more

After menopause, my weight soared. Years of dieting bore no results, so I decided to Coolsculpting. Unfortunately, after two rounds both back and front, there is no visible difference. You cannot tell the which set of photos is "before" and which is "after." Worse, I used to wear a long line bra to smooth out squishy bulges: Now the bulges are hard and do not recede behind tight underwear.... more

I got my procedure done 3/20/14 can't wait for results. I had two sections done in one day. One on my lower abdomen and one on the upper abdomen. I was debating whether to go in for 2nd procedure within the 2 weeks of first procedure as recommended by doctor, or to wait 2 months before second procedure. I'm 5'5 120 and my target area is some what small. Can anyone help answer this : Is it... more

I am a fit, 40 year-old who tried Cool Scultping to help slim down my gut. I am on the curvey size. My curves are in the right places, minus my tummy, which only goes away when I become extremely thin. I tried cool sculpting because I am tired of working out like I'm training for a marathon. I'm looking for a way to be happy with my body and am willing to try something different.
The doctor... more

I want to say Thank you to all users or realself who take their time to write reviews on cosmetic procedures and services. Now it is my time to share my experience.
I wasted a lot of money on spot reduction therapies like I-lipo with zero results so was very skeptical about Zeltiq procedure, however, I still decided to try it out.
I would never pay the whole price for one session (1200-1500$)... more

I have had Coolsculpting on my flanks and abs with great results! My final two areas, inner thighs and lower back fat, were not conducive to the existing applicators until the Coolfit head was introduced earlier this year. This head is long and rectangular with large cooling plates so it can grab large areas of fat. Since my existing doctor did not have one yet, I called around and found a... more

After reading all the reviews on it I still decided to do it. I had it done yesterday to my abdomen ad love handles. The love handles were a piece of cake the abdomen was a little tougher but I did not have much discomfort it did feel like I could not breathe for a few minutes but that passed. It wiped me out I was exhausted for the rest of the day and had numbing slight discomfort.
Day... more

I am a 50 year old male 6' 190 lb. Although I have never been what one would consider fat or overweight; I had developed pockets of diet and exercise fat on my flanks( love handles) and stomache. I had one treatment on my flanks and three on my stomache. My love handles are virtually gone and my stomache has reduced with each treatment.
I did experience some pain and discomfort during the... more

Ok well I just had this procedure done on 4-23-12 It fell weird when she first put the machine on I couldn't believe how much suction it had it wasn't terrible but was weird feeling at first I thought I could not go through 1hour of this but then after 10min it got better . When the hour was up and they took it off there was a lot of numbness and felt like a burn but they said it was... more

OMG!! There is a lot of false advertising going on about the "painless" Coolscuplting procedure. I'm on day 5 and could not be in any more pain. I had lipo done 2 years ago and didn't have near as much pain as I'm going thru now. On top of feeling like someone is stabbing me in the stomach and a swarm of bees and needles are stinging me, my upper abdomen is twice the size... more

I lost 80lbs 7 years ago and still had some stubborn belly fat that I could not get rid of. I work out 5 days a week with running and strength training so it wasn't like I wasn't trying, it just wasn't going anywhere.
I read about cool sculpting in Shape magazine and called for an appt. I did the smaller one and the Dr. said she thought that would be ok, I could come back after... more

After reading about Zeltiq in a few magazines and on Realself I was convinced that this would work for me. I found a Dr. in Highland Park, IL with good reviews and he's affordable. The actual place is very spa-like. Really nice and I felt super comfortable. The technician that performed it on me was also the person that went over the prices and what to expect. She was very honest and said... more

Had Zeltiq today. Abdomen and back (3 total). I was expecting the procedure to be a lot worse. I think I psyched myself up over nothing. Stomach is sensitive but ok. I know things can get worse in a few days but I'm crossing my fingers I don't have too many problems! Now for the two plus month wait. more

If you read my other post then you know I am getting married in September, that is why I am trying to look my best. I decided on Zeltiq (cool sculpting) due to it being cheaper than lipo (by $2100 less to be exact) and the no downtime benefit of it.
I went into my doc's office last Thursday night after work to get my abdomen and muffin tops done. I arrived and waited about 15 minutes... more

I had my procedure done on May 7th. The procedure was uncomfortable and was happy when it was over, but overall not terrible. I had my belly and flanks done so I was there for three hours. The belly was the most painful as it pulled the area so hard I started to get cramoing similar to menstral cramps. When it was over I went to lunch and felt fine, just tired. I took a nap and went out that... more

I had Zeltiq done in Illinois just 10 days ago on my stomach (am 5"4 and 117 lbs) and am impatiently waiting for results. No bad side affects but my stomach seems larger than when I went. Also with the numbness, I can't seem to suck it in....is this normal?
The doctor and staff were very good. Just wondering when I will see something or do you feel anything specific once the fat... more

I had zeltiq done on my backfat/bra bulge because everytime I saw that fat thru my shirt I was instantly saddened and depressed everyday. I had it done 3 weeks ago, it'll be 4 weeks this tuesday.
Im starting to see results and I'm happy. Hopefully by the 14th of the month I'll see more results but overall I like zeltiq. more

Zeltiq procedure for lower abdomen.
Pros: No wait time, pleasant office atmosphere, friendly doctor and staff. No pain; mild discomfort.
Cons: Treatment not successful. Doctor/staff did not follow-thru. Disappointed that I spent $2,000 and had no visual or measurable improvement. Disappointed that doctor did not offer some type of consolation for spending money and not getting any results. more
